Adults can avoid cancer-causing agents when they barbecue by using the healthy grilling tips in the new infographic, “How to fill a healthy barbecue plate,” created by experts at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

“Summer is a popular season for outdoor grilling,” said Mary Ellen Herndon, an MD Anderson wellness dietitian. “But before you fire up the grill, take the right precautions to make sure you serve healthy barbecue dishes that won’t expose your family to increased cancer risks.”

Research shows that common meats served at barbecues, like hot dogs and hamburgers, can increase colorectal cancer risks. Even some “safer” meats can expose people to cancer-causing agents if they’re cooked improperly.

Herndon suggests using the tips in the infographic to give grilling a healthy makeover.
